The world is small and there are many things.
Today, pick three things to interpret.
First, the Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin happily accepted the invitation to attend the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Beijing.
At the press conference on the 23rd, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian introduced to the media that Sino-Russian relations are friendly and have always had a tradition of sharing grand events, and at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese side has invited President Putin to come to the opening ceremony, And President Putin happily accepted the invitation, and China and Russia are currently communicating friendly on relevant details.

Zhao Lijian said that he believes that the Covenant of the Winter Olympics will once again reflect the friendship between China and Russia, and also believes that athletes from all over the world will realize their dreams of the Winter Olympics and show the world a wonderful and colorful sports event.
Just as The Chinese side invited President Putin to attend the grand meeting, the Western countries led by the United States are whining and speculating about various "diplomatic boycotts."
In addition to the United States, britain is said to be discussing with the Five Eyes allies whether to "diplomatically boycott", but experts say that China does not appear to have publicly invited the United States and Britain representatives.
We haven't invited them yet, what are they doing?
The second thing is that the Philippine presidential candidate rushed to Nansha Zhongye Island to brush up on his presence, and as a result, he received warnings and text messages from the Chinese side.
As next year's Philippine election approaches, candidates in the Philippines are preparing for the election. Philippine presidential candidate And Senator Laxon recently led his team to Nansha Zhongye Island in an attempt to "assert sovereignty."

However, halfway through Laxon's plane, he was warned by a Chinese coast guard vessel. After they arrived on Thitu Island, they also received a text message that said, "Welcome to China." The last time a similar situation was encountered by Philippine Defense Secretary Lorenzona.
During the Qing Dynasty in China, Zhongye Island was already inhabited by Chinese fishermen. For a long time, Thitu Island was China's, until the 1970s, when the authorities of Taiwan Province of China mishandled it, which led to the Philippines taking advantage of it.
At present, China-Philippines relations are developing steadily, and although there have been local frictions in the South China Sea, the situation is generally stable. Zhao Lijian also responded to the Philippine supply ship's unauthorized intrusion into Ren'ai Reef without consent, when the Chinese Coast Guard ship performed official duties according to law, but China and the Philippines still maintained the necessary communication.
During Duterte's tenure, Sino-Philippine relations have remained in good shape, and now that the Philippine election is approaching, Duterte's daughter Sarah has also come out to run for vice president, possibly with Marcos Jr. Public opinion believes that Marcos Jr. may still maintain the same policy as Duterte.

Therefore, the prospects for China-Philippines relations are still promising, and I hope that the Philippine side will cherish them more.
The third thing is that the United States has been "blocked."
According to foreign media reports, the European think tank "International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance" pulled the United States into the "list of countries with democratic regression" in its report.
This is equivalent to a solid slap in the face of the United States, you know, the United States has always packaged itself as a "beacon of democracy", and almost every time the United States attacks other countries, it will talk about "democracy".
The above report believes that the United States has "regressed" since the beginning of 2019, and the election at the end of last year to the beginning of this year has aggravated the problem, because Trump questioned the election and there was a congressional riot.
(Congressional riots)
In addition, last year, the case of black Floyd being kneeled and killed by white police in the United States triggered a major riot in the United States, and Trump even threatened the military to suppress the riots at that time, which also affected "freedom" at that time.
Two additional cases are added, one of which is the massacre in Waukesha, Wisconsin, in which a black rapper drove down a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, after the arrest of a white youth who was acquitted of 2 people, in which at least 5 people were killed, 40 injured, and a large number of children were inside.

The second incident was that a pregnant woman in the United States who was seven months pregnant was shot and killed, and the murderer brutally shot her in the head and abdomen, resulting in two deaths, and the poor child was killed before she was born.
Everyone can see clearly what "human rights" and "democracy" are in the United States.
The fact of blood and fire is a silent indictment of American hypocrisy.
